The Hill of Hypocrisy

This Facebook page is about the speaker, Katie Pavlich, mentioned in Prof. Adams' article below and is more up to date:
Free Speech: Fight Censorship at UNC "Hear the speakers that UNC Student Congress tried to BLOCK from campus!
" Journalists Katie Pavlich and Ann McElhinney will speak about the importance of free speech and the people who want to silence dissent.

        When: 10/28/2013
        Where: UNC Hamilton 100
        Time: Doors open at 6:30p. Starts at 7:00p.


Prof. Mike Adams  "For those who haven't yet heard, Katie [Pavlich] was invited by the College Republicans to speak at UNC-CH. But the folks in student government said she was "non-intellectual" and had "no value" as a speaker. So they refused to fund her speech and gave it to some feminists and anarchists instead. (Please pardon any redundancy in that last sentence)."
....
"I agree with the UNC-CH student government. Katie is a non-intellectual with no value as a speaker. .... I shared a number of examples with Katie. Just in case you're a conservative woman seeking an audience at UNC-CH, I'm sharing these tips with you, free of charge."

"Dress up as a six foot vagina." ...."Katie could have borrowed that costume and even given her speech wearing it. She would have looked every bit as intellectual as an Appalachian State feminist."...

"Drop your guns and celebrate "kick ass" feminism."..."If a feminist intellectual recommends a vigilante course of action, you know it has to be sound."

"Tell UNC feminists that some handguns can also be used as sex toys.  A few years ago, UNC Chapel Hill decided that "orgasm awareness week" was of enough intellectual value to merit funding from the university.".... 

"Dress up as a gorilla and throw bananas at the audience."...our women's center paid for a group called the Gorilla Girls to come to campus. They were some serious intellectuals. They dressed up in gorilla costumes and threw bananas at audience members."...

"Fly in on a private jet.  Arianna Huffington was paid $12,500 to fly into UNC - Wilmington on a private jet. During her tree hugging feminist speech, she lectured the audience about driving SUVs and wasting precious gasoline."
Pavlich and Andrew Breitbart
"Stop wearing makeup and shaving your arm pits." ...These UNC feminists are tough on good looking women. They have a real disdain for makeup and razor blades."

Read the full article here. I'll be asking you questions about it this weekend, and I don't bluff.

Obama wants Marines to wear ‘girly’ hats? Some say that's a phony story.


marine_hats2.jpg
Liberals are "chickifying" the NFL, why not the Marines as well? 
Fox News; Pentagon  "A change to the Marine Corps' uniform hats could leave hard-nosed Leathernecks looking a lot less macho.

"According to the New York Post, President Obama's plan to create a "unisex" look for the Corps has officials on the verge of swapping out the Marines' iconic caps with a new hat that some have derided as so "girly" that they would make the French blush.

" 'We don't even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers that look like women's hats!" one senior Marine source fumed to The Post. "The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous.' "  NY Post article.
“The Marine Corps is being ‘encouraged’ by DoD to standardize on a unisex/universal dress and service cap,” Marine brass noted in an internal memo obtained by The Post. 

"As a Marine veteran who knows how these changes actually happen, I can tell you the story is 100% B.S. The bottom line: The President doesn't involve himself in what troops happen to be wearing.
"But just to make sure, I called Headquarters Marine Corps and a spokesperson confirmed that the process for making changes to Marine uniforms hasn't changed since I last left the service in 2010."
....
"The President in no way, shape, or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover," said Capt. Maureen Krebs, a spokesperson for the Marine Corps. "We're looking for a new cover for our female Marines for the primary reason that the former manufacturer went out of business. The Marine Corps has zero intention of changing the male cover."

"If there's someone to blame about a change in a uniform, the buck would stop at Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos, who has the final say."

The fact that hordes of us are willing to believe such things may show our gullibility, but it reveals much more the low opinion so many have of Barack Obama as a commander-in-chief.
If for political reasons he should want a more politically correct uniform, he certainly has the power to make that happen. We have seen many occasions where Obama has used our military as pawns and for photo ops, the most distasteful to me being the photo of him saluting coffins of fallen soldiers after he was first elected.
This story may be untrue, but it would fit the pattern we have come to expect of  Bill Ayres' ally and other Democrats who speak of their loathing for the military, pictured here with Mr. Obama.  The Tunnel Dweller

A Deficit of Stories; As much as think tanks, we need storytelling tanks — and a way to disperse the stories far and wide

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE    "How did it happen? How did we wake up one day to find ourselves cast as the bad guys for trying to save future generations from a lifetime of indebtedness? Why are we punished for pointing out that if we keep spending more money than we take in, we won’t continue to be a great country? Why do Americans view the Republican party more negatively than they view Democrats, when it’s Democrats who gave us Detroit? And Democrats who might soon turn America into Detroit?

"Our net debt is now nearly 90 percent of our GDP, compared with Canada’s debt, which is 35 percent of its GDP, and France’s, which is 86 percent of its GDP, as Mark Steyn pointed out in a recent column on NRO. And we’re the bad guys? When you add up all of our debts and obligations, every American family is on the hook to creditors for nearly $750,000. And the government shutdown was the problem?

"At the point, someone on the left will likely say that the Tea Party is an attempt to create a similar fervor on the right. But the Tea Party has a very different mission: they’re not trying to ban everyone’s lightbulbs, jack the price of gasoline up to sky-high European levels, and make everyone drive a Prius or ride “intercontinental high-speed rail” as the president calls one of his many boondoggle FDR-era retread big government projects. They want the government to leave everyone alone.  (And their detachment from the self-imposed oppression of the global warming doomsayers is a reminder that a little distance is always a good thing.) "

America under Obama and his Liberal base

131022 government glitch

The Post-American Liberal Culture  " Liberalism has embraced relativism, trapping it in a feedback loop of reflexive national self-criticism. Talk about the status of women in the Muslim world, and a liberal interjects by pointing out unequal salary levels in America. Mention genocide in the Sudan and he talks about Native Americans. Summon outrage over some a beam in the Third World, and the liberal finds a mote in your eye. There's a protective ideological short circuit in that thinking, a governor that cuts in to defend against dangerous ideas with an irrelevant counterattack. "
 
Victor Davis Hanson; If you’re hip and liberal, your kids don’t have to go to school with the gardener’s kids.   "California is the epicenter of the new regressive progressive — a novel sort of hyper-reactionary but hip 1 percenter who shakes his fist at his image in the mirror."

How's Obamacare doing lately?

 
Millions of Americans Are Losing Their Health Plans Because of Obamacare  "Let me be exactly clear about what health care reform means to you,” Obama said at one rally in July 2009. “First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan.  Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.”  
But the president's promise is turning out to be false for millions of Americans who have had their health insurance policies canceled because they don't meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act." Video.

As Obama would say, "Let me be clear":
The 'Glitch' Blame Game   "Since income is < 50 k the client qualifies for Plan-1 or Plan-2. Since income < 20 k client qualifies for Plan-1. Since net worth > 150k and single and unemployed the client qualifies for Plan-2. The computer system will then freeze - probably from stack overflow."   Huh?

John Fund; Obamacare’s Huckster ‘Navigators’  ...."More than 700 “cyber-squatter” websites with similar domain names have been created to siphon off some of the public traffic meant for Healthcare.gov. Some sites direct people to fill out an “Obamacare enrollment form,” even though they actually offer no insurance."

The Galen Institute; The ACA—Two Policy Experts’ Perspectives  "With the upcoming deployment of the most important aspects of health care reform, we are fortunate to have two well-known policy experts respond to our questions on the legislation. Grace-Marie Turner and David Cutler participated in a debate at the SOA health conference in 2010 and this interview serves as an extension to that initial debate. While they have different views, they each provide a very articulate support of their policy positions."

'You let them die': Hillary Clinton heckled over Benghazi terrorist attack during speech to university students

'You let them die': Clinton is confronted by a heckler during a speech in Buffalo on Wednesday
UK Mail  "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was relentlessly heckled over the Benghazi terrorist attack as she tried to deliver a speech at a New York university on Wednesday night.
"Clinton was speaking at the University of Buffalo as part of the university's 'Distinguished Speakers Series' when a man in the crowd began screaming about the attack that left three people dead, including Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens.

" 'Benghazi, Benghazi - you let them die,' the man screamed as Clinton continued to give her speech."
....
" 'We have to be willing to come together as citizens to focus on the kind of future we want, which doesn’t include yelling. It includes sitting down and talking to one another,' she said sternly.
"The crowd then erupted with applause."
 

Obama the Blameless

 
David Limbaugh  "Could there be more convincing proof that President Obama is more concerned about himself than he is about the Americans he is supposed to serve than his Monday morning speech defending the disastrous Obamacare rollout rather than apologizing for it?

"Could there be more compelling evidence that he is first and foremost a Saul Alinsky agitator than the fact that he took the offense and attacked Republicans for fighting him on the budget -- a fight that in no way caused any rollout problems -- rather than humbly admit these inexcusable and humiliating problems?

"Democrats and the liberal media savaged President George W. Bush for allegedly never admitting a policy mistake. Can you fantasize them expressing disenchantment with Obama on these grounds, with far more justification?"

NBC FINA World Cup Swimming Broadcast Censors Out Israeli Flag to Appease Muslims...

So much for a courageous press. Lets see you bloviate over this, Chris Matthews.
 
Debbie Schlussel    "The FINA World Cup swimming competition video feed censored out the Israeli flag to appease the host country of the games, Qatar. The Israeli flag was also pulled from outside the swimming facility. Don’t blame the Muslim Nazis in Qatar. Blame the FINA co-conspirators who obeyed the demands of Qatar. FINA is the international governing body of swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming. And if today’s FINA officials had been around in 1930s and ’40s Europe, they’d have fit in perfectly. Sieg Heil! .... Watch the video:
 
"....Middle Eastern countries have had a long history of snubbing Israeli athletes whenever and wherever possible, with many athletes from Middle Eastern countries electing to disqualify themselves from competition against any Israeli athlete. In swimming, Israeli swimmers have been subjected to being announced as nationless athletes, sometimes just referring to them as hailing from ISR."....
 
As Woody Allen said, last week, to Israel Channel 2:
There are many people that disguise their negative feelings toward Jews, disguise it as anti-Israel criticism, political criticism, when in fact what they really mean is that they don’t like Jews.
AMEN.
